First responders were performing driver checks from ATVs to ensure the safety of those stranded.

After temperatures dipped into the low teens overnight, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has provided fuel to those that need it so that drivers can continue running heat in their vehicles.

A state of emergency was declared for Pennsylvania in advance of the weekend snowstorm, allowing state and local officials to respond quickly to areas in need.

Up to 2 feet of snow is expected for the area through Saturday.
